Old Gamers, Help me find a game!

So, the last few years a game has been buggering me. I can't for the life of me remember what it's called, what the plot is, or what era it's from.
I've been seaching up and down the web for it, just to see if I'd be lucky and find the title on it. Today I've finally on the edge of giving up trying to find it, and are posting here as my final attempt to find it. Let's see if any of you lovely fellows recognize the description.

The game is about controlling tanks, in a cartoon'ish environment. You control either a Bird or a UFO with a giant magnet, that flies around controlling the tanks. I believe it was a sort of eliminate the other computer controlled tanks. You could then pick up upgrades scattered around the map with your Bird/UFO, and apply them to your tank. Such upgrades could be a flamethrower instead of a normal gun-barrel. I -believe- that the main Bird/UFO was controlled with the mouse mainly.

I have a suggestion for the title of the game, which would be "Tankatonik". But sadly, it isn't the right title, but I believe it's something along those lines.

I picked up the demo for the game back in the day on one of the many software CD's with Demos for games, that magazines used to have with them along with reviews.

The game must have been from around the start of 2000. I don't have anything else but that to go on, so I hope the description will be enough for one of you to go; "Hey, I know that game, It's called 'x'!".

I sincerely hope any of you can help me.

Edit: I'm not used to write on Forums, so i realize that this may be the wrong place to ask such question. Please correct me if so, and I will take my question to the right place.

i cant help with the name of the game, im afraid. but i can offer some language advice. the phrase you are looking for is "bugging me". what you said means something very, very different. trust me, you dont want to be doing that with a game.

When challenging a Kzin, a simple scream of rage is sufficient. You scream and you leap.

Over the last 10 years, Blizzard has taken over $10bn from MMO players. Take a look around your game...do you see $10bn worth of content available to you? Do you see even a tiny fraction of that in relevant content? Now ask me again why I dislike what Blizzard has done to the MMO industry.

Because unofficial slang has the same meaning everywhere, and that meaning never changes. I work with a British guy who says "bugger all" all the time, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't mean he wants to have anal sex with everything.

Edit: On topic, I've no idea what game you're talking about but it sounds like my last acid flashback.
